Is Dad's rifle a Springfield M2?

Book ...Springfield 1903 by Bropy will tell you, I think

Tom,

Is that a Krag rear sight assembly on your rifle? Very interesting.

lancebear, Yes, the rear sight on my .22 cal. Springfield is of the Krag type. It has a Segley marked M1905 fixed rear sight base to which has been welded a M1902 (?) Krag rear sight. Same type of set-up as the prop rifles used in the Gary Cooper movie about Sgt, Alvin York.

Lancebear, Here is a photo of the rear sight assembley on my home made .22 Springfield.
